Why I’m Thankful For Being Laid Off

Why I’m Thankful For Being Laid Off

I wrote this story in 2010… could have written it yesterday.

I share it every thanksgiving…but I’m reading it to you today on my video this week.

(And there is a moment early on where my NJ accent totally kicks in 😂😂😂…tell me if you catch it!)

The wild thing is reading it aloud brings all the feels back as if it just happened yesterday.

Laid-offs never leave you…but things do get better.

I promise.

Stick with me.

Let me know what you think after you watch it.

I’m thankful. Super grateful for all the adverse things that ever happened to me because they made me a better person.

I wish you all a happy thanksgiving, if that’s your jam…or simply a day of gratitude, no matter what you celebrate today.
